The Week in Comments: "Just deduct 1 point from City's total and I'll be fine"

Two Maddening Words: "What If?"

I’m gonna have to disagree with the assertion that obsessing over past results does no one any good; I just caught a replay of Atleti dismantling Chelsea and it’s been great for my emotional state!

What if Mignolet doesn't save that penalty?

O monstrous world! Take note, take note, O world,
To be direct, and honest is not safe

Suso: "I Still Feel Part of the Club"

My feeling is that if Suso wasn’t already a Liverpool player I would be excited to hear that we were interested in him for around the £10 million mark after the season he has had bearing in mind he is a young player playing for a pretty terrible team in Spain. Of course he already is a Liverpool player and I am very excited to see him back. I don’t think he needs another loan spell-there will be plenty of opportunities for him to play next season and in fact he could have really been useful this past weekend as an option off the bench to try to unlock the giant padlock set out by chavs. Get his contract renewed and get Brendan working on him and he’s a ready made outstanding squad member.

Carragher: "This Title is Still On"

Gotta believe
Too many signs. Migs save against Stoke. Opening the season with 4 wins, 3 of them 1 – nil, with Luis suspended. Hammering Arsenal 5 – nil, Everton 4 – nil and Spurs 4 – nil. Coming back against Fulham, twice, to win the game. Luis’ and Sturridge’s unbelievable run of goals. Finding a way to beat West Ham. This magnificent second half of the season run, 14 wins, 2 ties, 1 loss, 44 points out of a possible 51. Almost impossible with our squad, considering our comparative lack of depth on the bench. Statistically still favorites to top the league given all the possible permutations. I can’t believe that fate is going to be cruel enough to imprint onto Stevie’s memory bank that freak slip as one of the defining moments of this season. No way. Too many signs pointing our way. Not entirely in our hands, but we’re gonna get there.

Rumour Mongering: The Summer of Lallana Edition

First time hair was mentioned in this thread. We’re better than that.
